Nurseries

Nursery is provided for children from birth to five during worship and the Sunday School hour. The nursery is located on the second floor behind the sanctuary. The nursery is staffed by trained attendants and experienced volunteers who ensure the safety and care of Hillyer’s youngest friends.

Children Sunday school

Celebrate Wonder is a Sunday School curriculum that brings children of all ages closer to God and their Faith through Bible Stories. This program is during the Sunday School hour beginning at 10 am following Children’s Choir. The classroom is located in the stairway on the second floor behind the sanctuary.

Children’s worship Kits & Children worship & wonder

We love having children participate in Sunday morning worship services. We know that an hour can be a long time for a child to remain in one spot. There are Worship Toolkits available to children and following children’s moment children ages three years old through second grade are invited to join in Children Worship & Wonder. This program invites children to experience the wonder and mystery of God through engaging storytelling and multi-sensory materials. This program is located in the classrooms on the second floor behind the sanctuary.

CHILDREN’S CHOIR 

Our children’s choir performs regularly throughout the year. They meet on Sundays at 9:45 am and the second Sunday of the month at noon for rehearsals with our Director of Music, Julie Ricciardi, and her team. Julie’s background as an elementary education teacher makes her the perfect person to cultivate a love for songs of faith as she brings out the very best in each child.

Family Service Projects

We want our children to know that following Jesus is not just about what we receive. Serving others is a way we grow to be more like Christ and share God’s love with others. Children and families are regularly invited to put their love for God into action through family-friendly service projects including the Greater Triangle Crop Walk, CWS Bucket Packing, Souper Bowl of Caring, and Rise Against Hunger.

Growing in faith doesn’t just happen at church or on a Sunday morning.
